I want to see more Sheed starting ala KT. Better defense, better offense, great floor spacing.

I just think the defense would be so much better this way. Having either Sheed or Marcus with Tyson. Amare and whomever off bench.

I wouldn't be against it but I kind of like what KT brings to start games. He can be slow defensively (Sheed is the same, but not as bad), but when his mid range shot is money it makes life very easy for everyone, opens things up for others and helps establish a rhythm from the get-go.

Would be interested to see if we can dominate defensively with the twin towers and communication specialists Sheed and Tyson.

I may be wrong, but it feels like the offense always starts slowly when he's starting. When Melo is PF, not so much.

He hits some of the shots (which is great, he did well vs the Lakers). But it seems the spacing provides issues for everybody else to find an offensive rhythm.

I realize that isn't all his fault, because Felton has been struggling and Ronnie for sure. But when the floor is really spread (like Sheed can do). Melo gets so much space to operate inside, it just makes him and everybody else better. The PnR game does as well

Whats up guys. Sorry i have been MIA but i was partying pretty hard for New Years. Anywho, im back and will update this thread as the injury updates come in today. Here is where we stand as of right now:

STAT - Amare said he felt good in practice yesterday 1day after his first game back. I expected Woody to play STAT the same way he started off with Sheed and Camby ie: 8-10 minutes so i found it kind of encouraging that he was able to give us 17 minutes. Looks like Amare is good to go, so i am going to begin phasing him out of this thread *fingers crossed*

Melo - Melo tweaked his knee again late in the portland game. I'm not sure how he is feeling today but will update once i get word

Tyson - Tyson got his butt whooped on the boards against portland. It was really really frustrating. i dont think STAT helped much either so he should share some of the blame as well. But apparently, Tyson's sprained ankle was bothering him during the game. I'm assuming he'll feel better and play better tonight.

Sheed - still no timetable for his return. This sucks. We need him back in the worst way for our defense sake. Although Camby is starting to pick it up.

Shump - Shump has started individual contact drills but has yet to be cleared for 5 on 5 contact. I'm pretty sure he will get cleared within the next couple of weeks. We really need him to help solidify our perimeter D. Ronnie has given us absolutely nothing the last couple of weeks.

Kidd - is kidd hurt? he was shooting the ball kind of weird against Portland. He was shooting as if his back was hurting him.

Those are the updates as I know them right now. I'll update this throughout the day today once we start getting the official words from the knicks beat writers.
